In Global Warming and War by John Slade
We are always happy to hear from our readers
and especially when it's about a green book they just published!
So without further ado, I would like to present you with
the new book of Dr. John Slade 'In
Global Warming and War', the second novel in the ADIRONDACK
GREEN trilogy.
So what this is about? here's the author's description:
In 'In Global Warming and War', the second novel in the
ADIRONDACK GREEN trilogy, the people of a small American town
respond to the dying of their forest, and to the death of
one of their sons in Iraq.
The 32 high school seniors boldly examine the threat to their
Adirondack Park, and to the Earth itself. In addition, they
meet 32 wounded veterans, back from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
during an extraordinary week of adaptive skiing on Bobcat
Mountain. The reader meets these veterans face to face as
they rise to the challenge of skiing without legs, of skiing
blind.
The peoples of the world have a choice. We can either work
together, on a global scale, to replace oil and coal with
clean sources of energy, or we can continue to fight our wars
for oil. Even if we win the oil wars, we may well poison our
Earth to the point that Mother Nature becomes Uncle Briar
Patch.
A program of international cooperation -which includes the
universities of the world--will create many more jobs and
stable, growing economies than plunder and war could ever
create. Students around the globe are ready to rise to the
challenge. Every wind turbine will bring us a step closer
to a lasting peace.
The first novel in the trilogy is ADIRONDACK
GREEN, which was published on Earth Day 2006, and focuses
on a small town that puts up a wind turbine, and loses a son
in the war in Iraq.
About the author: John Slade has been a high school and university
English teacher in America, on the island of St. Croix in

motivated students. Their Renaissance has already begun in
countries around the world.
